Obama's 'appeasement' brought on attacks

A pro-national defense activist says the recent embassy attacks
and subsequent violence in the Middle East can be attributed
squarely to Barack Obama's foreign policy of appeasement.

The violence in the Middle East that began in Libya and Egypt
has spread to other Muslim countries as angry mobs have torched
cars and buildings. Security officials in Lebanon say a crowd set
fire to a KFC and an Arby's restaurant, and then clashed with
police -- who opened fire, killing one person. There have also been
reports of Islamic violence in the Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, Tunisia, and even in a Muslim enclave of India. (See

Brigitte Gabriel is founder and president of ACT! for
America and author of They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must
Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It. She says the
barrage of anti-American protests in predominantly Muslim countries
is the result of an appeasement president.

"For [almost] the last four years we've had a president in the
White House who is sending all the wrong signals to our enemies,
trying to appease them," she exclaims. "I mean, look at the latest
signal that he sends. Our embassy gets attacked in Egypt, and
instead of Egyptian President Morsi calling our president,
President Obama called Morsi and talked to him -- and it should be
the other way around."

According to Gabriel, voters are taking note of the failure of
Obama's foreign policy.

"He not only failed on the economy, he failed in representing
America and he failed in national security because he sent the
wrong messages to our enemy -- and now we are reaping the results
and our people are dying overseas," she laments. "I think this is
going to affect him big time."

Gabriel says for the first time Americans believe that the
United States is not respected by its enemies -- and that, she
believes, is not what they bargained for when they elected Obama as
president.
